Burt Lake State Park Campground

About

Located on the southeast shore of Burt Lake in Cheboygan County, Burt Lake State Park encompasses 406 acres of northern Michigan wilderness. The 27-square-mile lake is one of Michigan's largest inland lakes and renowned for its walleye fishery. The park features 2,000 feet of sandy shoreline with a shallow designated swimming area, making it ideal for families. The modern campground contains over 300 sites divided into east and west loops. Lakeside sites are large and sunny, while interior sites are shaded by oaks, maples, and pines. All sites feature electric hookups, with roughly two-thirds offering 20/30-amp service and the remainder providing 50-amp service. There are no water or sewer hookups at individual sites, but freshwater spigots are scattered throughout and a two-lane sanitation station with potable water is available. Four modern restroom buildings with flush toilets and hot showers serve the campground. A park store provides basic supplies. The campground is conveniently located near the swimming beach, boat ramp, playground with swings and slides, and picnic areas. Pets are welcome throughout the park except at the designated swimming beach, and a dog beach is located at the south end of the park.
